GOD said; To be HOLY, for He is HOLY. He also said not to fornicate, and to be the husband of one wife. And that a man and woman shall be joined together, and leave there father and mother and become one flesh. Do any of this shows that GOD advocated for gay rights? Do the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah illustrate that GOD approve of gay rights, no it do not, so why should we?
I do not wish to feel GOD wrath and anger, because of someone else disgusting, self centered and wicked sin. Stop being a homosexual, plain and simple. If you don't stop, hell will be youir eternal home, and GOD could and probably will curse your family for the next three to four generations, or longer. This is known as a generational curse, because of continuing sin and a sinful lifestyle.
This issue has no business in the courts or in politics. It's a religious issue. I am a liberal Christian. It's none of my business what kind of sex anyone practices as long as it doesn't involve legal prohibitions. It doesn't matter what words a minister says over a same sex couple or what legal rights related to marriage civil law gives them, in the eyes of God, they are not married.
I have gay couple friends. None I know want to be tied together legally. Those who do represent a very small percentage of the population. What they are really after is acceptance of their life style.
